A man shot to death in a suspected drive-by shooting has been identified as a soon-to-be father and tradie.
Aaron Toth, a 30-year-old carpenter from Cranbourne, was found with a fatal gunshot wound inside a Volkswagen Golf on Bride Avenue at Hampton Park, in Melbourne's south-east, at 12.30am on Saturday.
While Victoria Police have not said the suspected shooting is linked to organised crime, detectives believe the incident has all the hallmarks of a targeted execution.
Mr Toth, whose partner is expecting, died at the scene of the shooting.
His killers fled in a stolen Ford Ranger ute, which was found burnt out at Sweeny Reserve in Berwick, about 9km from the scene of the shooting, at about 2.30am.
